yes, please send your one to the public address or, if you prefer to

The highest efficiency is practically always with electroporation. The
trick is that it needs to be properly optimized. If you would
you be willing to go this route, I can post an "electroporation
optimization guide" that I've used to transfect all kinds of cells and
help many people over many years.
